Discovery Channel to open sarcophagus in Egypt live on air

In a two-hour special airing next week, the Discovery Channel will open a sarcophagus in Egypt live on air for the first time. Host Josh Gates, who claims not to be scared of the Pharaoh's curse (does this Orientalist stuff still pass?) expects to find physical remains at the lesser known site they’ll be excavating, which is reportedly home to some of ancient Egypt’s higher class residents (watch, runtime 1:00).
